To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUTHER D. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and`useful Iniproveinent in Registers, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the saine, such as will enable others slilled in the art to which it pertains to inake and. use the saine, reference'being had to the accompanying drawings, which forni a part of this specification. f

VMy invention relates to registers, and consists in the improvements hereinafter described and set forth in the claims.

ln the accompanying drawingst-.Figure i, is an elevation of a register embodying my invention and parts adjacent thereto. F ig. 2, is a perspective'view of the saine, the (irnainental openwork frame being removed. Fig. 3, is a detail perspective view of the cani-lever operating the valve. Fig. 4, is a perspective view of the lever shown in Fig. 8 from a dii'l1 erent point of view, the relative positionof the valve being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 5, is a detail sectional view upon the line 5--5, Fig. 1. Fig. 6, is a cross scction ofthe register in place in the wall, showing the ilues and adjacent parts. Fig. 7, is a perspective view of the valve and containing frame. Fig. 8, is a perspective view of the openwork i'raine. Fig. 9, is a perspective view of the iiiiisl'iing-ii'ame. Fig. l0, is a perspective view of the supportingframe.

A, A, are portions of twoof' the studs of a building.

B is the supporting frame secured' by lugs B1 to the studs A, A. This frame .is usually rough and unfinished, and is pnt on during the construction of the building. lt stands out some distance in the rooi'n, held there b v the lugs B1.

E, is an ornan'iental iinishing frame, which is placed over the frame B, and secured thereto by screws passing through holes E1, ll, in the frame E (Fig. il), and engaging threads in holes b1 in the frame R. 'The frame E is provided with inwardly extending lugs c at the sides thereof, the 'upper surfaces of which extend in the saine plane as the bottoni of a rabbet ruiming around the interior edge of said frame.

i412, is a lug extending inward i'roin the lower part of the frame ii above the lower part olA said i'abbet.

E, is a lng extending inward troni the center and upper portion of the :traine E, and provided with a screw tlireadi-id holo.

F (F ig. 8) is a frame including ornamental openwork. When the f'raino 1C has been secured to the supporting l'raine B, as above described., the frame F is placed with its lower edge inside of the lug ,161, and lying upon the lower surface of the rabbet in the frame E and on the lug E2. A screw is then inserted in the hole in the lug lil", its shank coming partly within a groove e (Fig. S) in the frame F, and its head resting upon the surface of said frame to hold it in position.

D, is a fran'ie.

D1 is a valve pivotod at d1 to the frame l).

The valve D1 when closed is adapted to fill` the frame D, and to o )en a passage through said frame when oscillated upon its pivot, as indicated in Figs. 2, (S, and 7. I

D2, is a cani-lever pivotcd at d2 at the cen- .ter of the upper part of the traine l) within said frame.

D3, is a handle extending outward Jfrom the lever D2. Upon said lever are two opposing canis DAx and D5, which extend upon opposite sides ci andl engaging the valve D1. By oscillating the lever D2 by means of the handle D3, the upper edge of the valve D1, is drawn outward or inward oscillating said valve about its pivots d1. The frame D is placed within the frame B, and screws are in` serted through holes F1 at the corners of the frame F, which screws engage threads in the screw threaded hole d in the frame D to hold said frame in position (sceFig. 5).

C is a ue leading from t ie furnace into the aperture in the wall of the building closed by the register. C1 is a luc leading i'roinsaid register upward to another room in the building.

G is a burner, or manifold, to which gas inay be supplied. through a passage closed by a valve G1.

G2 a handle by which the valve G1 may be' opened and closed. The burner G is located between `the register and the outside wall of the l'uc C.

The operation of the above described des vice is as followst-ln the above description the method of adjusting the parts has been described. if there is a furnace supplying a current ofdiot air through the liuc C by oscillating the valve D1, this current of air may be turned entirely into the room upon the wall oi' which is the register shown, or by closing said valve the current ci hot air niay a current of air from the furnace, or upward into the ilue-C, as may be required.

It will be observed that the frame D may be omitted entirely, and: still the register will have its usual appearance, and that said 'frame may be'inserted or Withdrawn at any time at little trouble/.

The cam lever Dzfmay be cast in one iece, and is of a form that may be easily rawn 20,v from the sand, and in its action it completely controls the movement of the valve throughout the extent oi2 said movement. What I claim is 1. `'Ina register, the combination of a valvev pivoted .upona horizontal axis, a cam lev adapted tdstving in a horizontal plane/a d having camfsurfaces engaging both sides/.fof

said yalve/and a hot airilue having a delivery opening in which said register is mountl ed, said delivery opening being controlledsbyv said valve. .z' f

' 2. In a register, the combination..y of the valve ,D1 pivoted at d1, the cam lever D2 engaging respectively against opposite sides thereof, vand a hot air flue having a delivery opening in which said regist'e-rgis mounted, said deliveryL opening being controlled by said valve. y, f

3. In a register, the combination of a valve pivoted to turn on an axis if( one plane,', a 40 cam-lever adapted to Swingin a plane atian angle With-the plane oi the aids or' said valve and having cam surfaces engaging both sides of said valve, Aand a hot air flue having a delivery opening in which ,said register is mounted, said delivery opening beingcon;` trolled by said valve.

4. The combinatiomoi the frameE provided With a lug E2, a irai/ne F, means on the frame E for limiting the inward motion'o the 50 frame F relative thereto, the frame F being adapted to engage inside of the lug E2, a

frame D located inside of the frame E, I (i means for securing th trame F to the frame D. ,f I- /L `5. The combination ifa frame B, the frame E ada ted to cover the frame B and be secured t ereto, the frame E being supplied with lugs e, and a Atlg 2, frame F inclo'sing ornamental openvvg lrlapted to en- 60 gage inside of the lug and ,outside of the lugs e, a frameD adaptedto tlwithn the frame B, and means for-,securing the trarriej'l?A to` the frame D.- i'

In testimony whereof, I sign this specifica# I tion in the presence of two Witnesses," f
